Studio Croft specializes in experiential hospitality and design-forward interiors for luxury vacation rentals that stand out in crowded markets and deliver a high return on investment.
As a nationally certified and Texas registered interior designer, plus an experienced short-term rental host, Amanda Croft brings a rare dual perspective to every project—combining creative vision with operational insight to craft spaces that deliver standout guest experiences and consistent returns.
“This place was one of the best places I have ever stayed at in my life. The design was so fun, clean, comfortable and thoughtful. ”
“We absolutely loved this place! It didn’t feel like we were staying at a typical Airbnb. It felt like we were staying at our most thoughtful and stylish friend’s house.”
What We Do for Vacation Rentals:
Studio Croft partners with vacation rental owners, investors, and boutique hospitality brands to design and furnish short-term rentals that delight guests and drive bookings.

Why Design-Driven STRs Perform Better:
Design is more than aesthetics—it’s a revenue driver. Vacation properties with experiential, guest-centered interiors:
Capture attention in crowded markets with scroll-stopping photography
Justify premium nightly rates and increase average length of stay
Earn stronger reviews and more repeat bookings
Stand out visually on Airbnb, social media, and direct booking sites
Our Signature Approach:
At Studio Croft, short-term rental design is both an art and a strategy. I bring together years of interior design expertise and hands-on hosting experience to create spaces that feel intentional, immersive, and ready to perform.
Whether you’re launching a new property or refreshing an existing one, Signature Stays offers two ways to work together:
The Signature Stays Framework — a comprehensive, full-service approach for new or underperforming properties.
The Signature Stay Edit — a focused design refresh for rentals with solid foundations but room to grow.
Each project begins with a strategy consultation, where we identify opportunities and amenity upgrades, address potential challenges, and map out a tailored plan to elevate your guest experience and maximize return.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Most of our clients budget between $30K-$50K project costs for a whole home refresh and $50-$150K+ for design, construction/renovation and set-up depending on property size, scope, location and investment goals. Amanda’s design and sourcing strategy maximizes return on every dollar.
-
Yes. We design for STR owners across the country using a mix of remote collaboration and on-site execution.
-
No. We do not offer concept-only (or e-design) packages without implementation support—our approach is hands-on and holistic. However, our consultation step is the first step to assess your property’s potential and map out next steps.
